“…Although some animal studies have shown that cyclosporine causes impairment in bone quality and bone healing around implants and in their mechanical retention, 125-128 case series and case reports have documented successful implant rehabilitations in patients that underwent organ transplantation. [129][130][131] In conclusion, no evidence exists that immunodeficiency is a contraindication for dental implants, however the medical condition should be investigated and the clinician should consider antibiotic prophylaxis and topic antiseptics (chlorexidine) to reduce the risk of infections, following communication with the relevant physician.…”

Several systemic diseases (and relative medications) have been reported to impair or in some cases complicate dental implant surgery. In broader terms, when dealing with patients suffering from systemic diseases, the monitoring of the medical condition and of the related post-operative complications is of great importance in order to avoid risks which could jeopardise the health of the patient. In this review, the available evidence on implant survival/success, as well as relevant surgical recommendations in patients affected by systemic diseases, are evaluated and when possible, practical suggestions for the clinician are provided.

“…Recently, a titanium alloy with 6 wt% aluminum and 7 wt% niobium (Ti-6Al-7Nb) has been developed that offers biocompatibility 10) and sufficient corrosion resistance 11) as well as superior wear resistance 12) , strength 12,13) , ductility 13) and machinability 14) compared to CP Ti. The cone crown telescopic system is also used for attachments for implant supported prostheses [15][16][17][18][19][20][21] and this application was reported to be a viable treatment option 16) . Recently, a prefabricated cone crown telescopic system using a titanium alloy with 6 wt% aluminum and 4 wt% vanadium (Ti-6Al-4V) and gold alloy for implant superstructures has come on the market.…”

Effects of surface roughness and tapered angle of cone crown telescopic system on retentive force

et al. 2011

This study evaluated the effect of surface roughness and tapered angle of cone crowns on retentive force (RF). Cone crowns from Ti-6Al-7Nb alloy with a tapered angle of 4, 5, or 6° were fabricated using a milling machine and a finishing machine to produce a smooth surface. Cone crowns of 6° with a rough surface were also prepared. The RF during 1,000 cycles of insertion/separation was recorded. The first RF of the 6° cone crowns was 24.2-27.7 N, and the surface roughness was not significant. The RF of all specimens decreased at 100 cycles, then those of inner and outer crowns with the same roughness remained unchanged, but those of different roughnesses increased with number of cycles. The RF of cone crowns with a smaller tapered angle was significantly greater than with a larger angle at any measured cycles.

“…Althoug all of that, publications describing cases of therapies which used implants among organ transplant recipients appeared, and the follow up of the dental implants in transplant patients showed an acceptable results near to those in healthy persons, and showed that it is possible to place dental implants in patients in the course of their long-term immunosuppressive therapy following organ transplants (17,18,19,20). so the result appeared in this case report agree with results of previous publicatios.…”

Since the beginning of oral implant surgery, it has been recommended to exclude certain patients with systemic health problems from implant therapy. Although many studies have been done about the effect of systemic disease like diabetes and osteoporosis on implant success but there wasn't enough data about the effect of organ transplantation and immunosupresive therapy on implant success in the literature. As the success rate of organ transplantations increased, the number of patients on immunosupressive treatment increased. It has been reported in the literature that organ transplant patients undergoing immunosuppressive therapy may experience periodontal side-effects such as gingival overgrowth and implant failure. In our case 10 year of implant success was examined on the patient who are exposed to kidney transplantation 8 years ago and who takes cortisone and immunosupressive.
